Welcome to the Dec. 1, 2007 edition of the carnival against sexual violence.

Thank you to everyone who nominated a post or who wrote a post against sexual violence whether it was nominated/selected or not. Nominations that came in after the nomination deadline will be considered for the next edition of the carnival.

If you support the purpose of the carnival, you can help get the word out about it and all of the posts included in the carnival.

Here are the selections for this edition of the carnival against sexual violence:

personal stories

In My Story posted at Firestarter, we get to see how a sexual assault can happen when many people are around and how fear can be used as a weapon. Editor's note: Firestarter is now a co-blogger over at my group blog Remodel4life.

In Search and Destroy? posted at Dealing With Healing, we get to see what it is like to wonder if or when your rapist who has served his sentence will make the news by repeating his crime against another victim.

In Saudi Arabia: Next War Zone? posted at Menstrual Poetry, we get a discussion about the rape victim sentenced to 200 lashes and how this occurrence in an oil-rich country might increase some people's desire to take action.

That concludes this edition of the carnival against sexual violence. Thank you for taking the time to visit this carnival and thank you to the authors of all the posts included in this edition.

The next submission deadline is Dec. 12 at 11 pm and the next edition will be out on Dec. 15.

To nominate a post (your own or someone else's) to the next edition of carnival against sexual violence, use our carnival submission form. If you have any problem with the form, please let me know so your submission can be considered for the next edition.

About Abyss2hope

Abyss2hope is centered on date rape, but isn't limited to discussing crimes which can be described this way since the causes and attitudes related to date rape are interconnected with domestic violence and other types of sexual violence.
